Roadmap

The roadmap downloadable from this page sets out the approach and development directions for the period 2020-2024, while summarizing Data's positioning challenges and presenting some of the planned developments.

Data is a project initiated in 2011. After two 4-year contracts, the site has entered a third development phase (2020-2024).

Future developments will focus on four key areas:

1. Optimization of the existing system, with a clean-up of the code, graphic and ergonomic improvements, and a particular focus on project mediation.
2. Data processing and enhancement, including integration of new data sources and modeling refinements.
3. Support for the Bibliographic Transition program, with the ambition of preparing for the arrival of Noemi, BnF's future production tool compliant with the IFLA-LRM model and the RDA-FR cataloging code.
4. New uses and responses to user expectations, with the prospect of strengthening links with data producers and Data users.
